Snooker, did they not have any children or grands that were interested in carrying on this wonderful artistry? Such a shame if not---so many of the old skills are dying out because the young ones just don't care. Too eager for the fast money to buy cheap junk they don't really need anyway. This art work may not, itself, be really needed---except by one's soul. Thanks, Snook, for an interesting & thought-provoking puzzle set................

Thanks morris, treker, Sally and linnyt. Think if you google intarsia they sell plans for different pieces but you would have to have a woodworking shop to be able to make them. Treker, you probably could do it. linnyt, we are never too old. :)

absolutely beautiful; sad in a way that there will be no more, because i'd love to grace a wall with a piece such as this! however, knowing they are limited makes them all the more precious for the spirit of them that do exist. Thank you so much for sharing! I just wish i could keep a picture on my wall to remind me that you are never EVER too old to do something special!

They had a workshop up north in Iowa I think and spent the summer making the pieces and then came south and sold them or donated them to different events. Believe they had been making intarsia for many years.
